        I do?

        Apart from sarcastic statements, I go out of my way to be sincere.

        That was less intended as a criticism of Helldivers than it was a reference to Managed Democracy on Super Earth and all that.

          Hahaha I don’t know exactly what I meant by it. I’m not trying to get into beef or anything, I am just often amused (and in agreement with) your anti-treat agenda… But then the other day I was like wait… Why does he know all the treat references??!

          I’m in a somewhat similar boat. Although I will NEVER watch gambo.

            Helldivers 2 tried very hard to make it clear that Super Earth is not actually a great place and Managed Democracy is coming apart in the background.

            Unlike Verhoeven’s self-admitted failure to make his satire clear to most Burgerlanders in the Starship Troopers movie, Helldivers 2 mostly succeeded in the message reaching all but the most 40k-brained freeze-gamer fascists. Or they knew what the writers were going for but want that crumbling space fascism anyway.
